Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you´re trying to find your way
Everyone´s around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won´t let them

If I seem bleak
Well you´d be correct
And if I don´t speak
It´s cause I can´t disconnect
But I won´t be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you´re staring at the sun {x5}

When I ran I didn´t feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn´t feel like I got away
There´s more to living than only surviving
Maybe I´m not there, but I´m still trying

Though you hear me
I don´t think that you relate
My will is something
That you can´t confiscate
So forgive me, but I won´t be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you´re staring at the sun {x2}
